MULOADER.EXE features a user-friendly menu.  It also features prompts to
ensure the user is prompted before any changes will be made to the system
BIOS.  To ensure a successful microcode update load is complete, the
utility locks up the system and instructs the user to perform a cold reboot
of the system.  The following command line options are available to allow
MULOADER.EXE to bypass any of the above features to allow automated execution
from within a batch file.  General syntax is "MULOADER -[flag]".

    m   Causes the main menu to be bypassed.  Prompts are still 
        available to confirm any permanent or temporary loading of
        microcode updates into BIOS.  The system still locks up to force
        COLD reboot after successful update load.  

    f   Forces no user input.  Same as -m but also bypasses any confirmation
        prompts and does not lock up the system or display the COLD boot 
        requirement message.  Instead, control is returned to DOS.

    p   Specifies on the command line a specific microcode update 
        database file (*.pdb).  The syntax is "MULOADER -P PEP5.PDB" 
        where PEP5.PDB is the database file.

    d   Invokes debug mode.  This allows for some special messages to be
        written to the STATUS.LOG file and to the screen.

So a typical batch file syntax to force no user input and use a specific PDB 
file would be:

   MULOADER -f -p PEP5.PDB

        or

   MULOADER -p PEP5.PDB -f
